Pros

Free lunch. Happy hours. Insurance. 401k match. PTO. Benefit package is better than average.

Cons

Constant change. Too much overtime. Very high turnover. Coworkers are nosy and like to gossip. Management doesn’t care how you feel. They just want you to complete work. If they don’t like you, there won’t be room for growth.
